Whatever the Diagnostic surfaces as a concrete deliverable. Two flavors, both with a spec, guardrails, and a short runbook.
Days to four weeks · fixed scope · scoped from the Diagnostic
Working software, scoped tightly enough that the owner can describe it in two sentences. Larger builds (six to twelve weeks, multi-system, deeper data work) start as Fractional Engagements rather than a single One-Off ticket.
Not an open-ended build, and not a project that grows scope mid-flight.
Scoped from what a Diagnostic surfaces. Every engagement starts with a Working Session.
Ninety minutes on your operations, then a written set of prioritized recommendations within 48 hours. The fee credits toward the Diagnostic if you decide to keep going.
